Broke Her Thigh.

Last night between and z o'clock, as
Mrs. Terrell was walking along Broad
street, between Twelfth and Fourteenth,
she stumbled over some loose bricks in
the pavement and fell to the ground,
breaking her right thigh. The injured
lady was carried into the residence of l..
+. Christian.
Mrs. Terrell has only lately been mar
ried. and as her husband is conductor
on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
and will not be home for several days, 1t
was thought best to take her to the City
Hospital. The ambulance was accord
ingly telephoned for, and the unfortu.
nate lady conveyed thither.
This is not the only accident that has
happened recently from this same cause,
rs our pavements are full of holes, ready
to seize the unwary, so to speak. There
ere several hundred dangerous holes In
the sidewalk in various parts of the city,
and the sooner they are repaired the less
chance will there be OF our citizens being
injured and Of the city being held liable
tor damages.

THE PAPER MILL FIRE.
The Losses and Insurance-The Mills TO BE
Rebuilt.

REBUILT.
The fire at the PAPER Mill was gotten
under control soon after the close Of The
TINES report yesterday morning. There
is very little TO be added to that very
concise report. A visit to the premises
yesterday developed the fact that the
main building was very complete wreck.
The Tenth-street hose company was or
dered to the scene yesterday evening at 4
o'clock to extinguish the fire, which had
been rekindled.
1t is a matter of congratulation that
none of the surrounding property was
destroyed, as there was much infamma-
bic material in close proximity to the
scene of the conflagration.
1t was nearly o'clock pm. yesterday
before Mr.. A. II. Christian concluded the
work Of figuring up his losses and in
surance.
The insurance on the building is $14,-
439 40 on the stock, $l4,77S.79; on the
machinery, $35 ,53172. Total, S64, $50.
The actual loss will not be known for
several days The TINES approximation
is nearly correct Mr. Christian informed
TIMES reporter that the company were
going to work at once TO rebuild.
The origin of the fire is in doubt, and
no blame is attached to any one connected
with the mills.
The Richmond Paper Mills were built
on the site of the old Belvidere Mills.
These last mills went down in the great
wreck on Evacuation Day-April 3, 1865.
The walls of the old mill were used in the
construction of the Richmond Mill and
were very old. The paper mills were
first known as the Franklin Mills and
were among the best-known mills in the
country.
1t is a matter for rejoicing that the
mills will Immediately be rebuilt There
are some fifty operatives employed in the
mills, and this is hard season for them
10 be out of employment 1t is hoped
that they will soon be at work

THE TIMES reporter called at the Gov

teen steps from the eastern side. The

square and of dressed plank. The trap
is three and half feet square, hung by
ordinary hinges from the underside, and
is held in place by a bolt of oak.
The steps and platform are protected
by neat hand-rail about three feet in
height. The whole structure is Of Vir-
ginia hard pine, except the bolt and cross
bar The latter is of black walnut. The
trap consists OF single door, and can
easily be dropped by the slightest pull of
the string, which is attached to the bolt
which supports it.

coored citizens contentedly gazing at the
outside of the Jail During 'the visitors

court yard of the jail and allowed to take
a look at the gallows through the bars.
